9 OPERATION
9.1
Connect to power supply.
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating
plate are identical to the mains data.
Connect the plug to an extension cable. It is imperative to secure the extension cable with the
cable grip.
9.2
Starting (Fig. 3)
Press and hold safety button (A) (then squeeze the switch lever (B) towards the handle).
Release the safety button.
9.3
Stopping
Release the switch lever.
ATTENTION : After switching off, the cutting blade will go on turning for a
few seconds, make sure the blade has come to a complete standstill.
CAUTION: Do not rapidly switch off and on.
9.4
Safety button
Important! To prevent the machine switching on accidentally, the lawn mower is equipped with
a safety lock-off which must be pressed before the switching bar can be activated. The lawn
mower switches itself off when the switch is released.
Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that the machine functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work on the machine, ensure that the blade is
not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.
Important! Never open the discharge flap if the grass bag is being emptied
and the motor is still running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries.
Always secure the discharge flap and grass bag carefully. Always switch off the motor before
you remove these items. The safety distance between the blade casing and the user provided
by the guide struts must be maintained at all times.
9.5
Information on correct mowing
We recommend that you mow in overlapping lines. Only mow with sharp, perfect blades so
that the blades of grass do not fray, making the lawn turn yellow.
The cutting height should be between 4 and 6 cm and the growth before the next cut should
be between 4 and 5 cm. If the lawn grows longer than this on occasion, do not make the
mistake of cutting to normal length straight away since this will damage the lawn. Never cut
the grass by more than half its height. Keep the underside of the mower casing clean and
remove all grass deposits from it. Deposits make it more difficult to start the mower and also
adversely affect the mowing quality and the grass discharge. On slopes mow across the slope
(not in up or down direction).You can counteract the tendency of the mower to slide down the
slope by setting it at an angle upwards.
Select the cutting height to suit the actual length of the grass. Make several passes to ensure
that you do not remove more than 4 cm of grass length in any one pass.
Switch off the motor before you carry out any inspections of the blade. Remember than the
blade will continue to turn for a few seconds after the motor has been switched off. Never
attempt to stop the blade.
